Text boxes and printing
Sorry for the repost but I got no reponses. Is the below immpossible?
Have a form with text boxes in it. In the Text boxes you can type down below the visible portion of the box (a vertical scroll bar appears). But when printed, it only shows the visible portion. Is there a way to get the box to grow to display the entire text on the printed form? |

Text boxes and printing
On the Text Box tab of Format Text Box, check the box for "Resize AutoShape
to fit text." -- Suzanne S.

Thansk for the response. However, for some reason, the Text Box tab is
ghosted out. ANy ideas? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: On the Text Box tab of Format Text Box, check the box for "Resize AutoShape to fit text." -- Suzanne S.

This may depend on the wrapping; I'm not sure.

Text boxes and printing
Text boxes and form fields are not entirely compatible. Use the frame tool
instead from the Forms toolbar. This will expand to accommodate your extra text if you set the height to 'at least' the size set. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bdavis wrote: Thansk for the response.
